Boston signed Lucic for 1 mill. If not Reaves then Leafs would need someone like Reeves and for dirt cheap. What are the options. Leafs are are a soft team. Reaves alone gives Leafs some backbone.
Bunting does some weird stuff on the ice. Still, I think he is a decent player when he sticks (plays) hockey.Bunting goes to Carolina.
Didn’t they try that experiment with Simmons?Boston signed Lucic for 1 mill. If not Reaves then Leafs would need someone like Reeves and for dirt cheap. What are the options. Leafs are are a soft team. Reaves alone gives Leafs some backbone.
Simmonds is not Reaves. Reaves can still hit and he hits to hurt. When they played Simmonds against Boston late in the season Simmonds was the only deterrent Leafs had against Boston. So the experiement does work.Didn’t they try that experiment with Simmons?
Of all the loses today that will hurt the most. I hesitate to criticize Treliving not knowing if Schenn even wanted to return.Not resigning Schenn (for 2.75 x 3) will turn out to be the first big mistake of Treliving.
Aren't they all?Klingberg a Leaf, 1 year deal around $4.5 million. Good offensively but a disaster in his own end.
You have a point, but I could see him wanting to go back to Vancouver more than staying; and other than being an American team what else does Nashville have over TO ? Tax considerations maybe ?Of all the loses today that will hurt the most. I hesitate to criticize Treliving not knowing if Schenn even wanted to return.
Nashville, Vegas, and Florida are the hottest destinations for hockey players these days. A combination of taxes, weather, and lifestyle seems to be the draw.You have a point, but I could see him wanting to go back to Vancouver more than staying; and other than being an American team what else does Nashville have over TO ?

And the fact that he likes music, he plays guitar and he'll be playing with a few musicians in Nashville.Nashville, Vegas, and Florida are the hottest destinations for hockey players these days. A combination of taxes, weather, and lifestyle seems to be the draw.
Ryan O'Reily 4 years $18 million. No thanks.
According to Treliving, the Leafs offered O'Reily the same but he was not interested in staying.
Was he considered one of the top free agents available.Bertuzzi signs, 1 year deal at $5.5 million. Leafs better hope he puts up better numbers than last season when he scored only 8 goals in 50 games.
Considered one of the best. He will probably play with Matthews and Marner have a terrific year and then price himself out of TorontoWas he considered one of the top free agents available.
